This Playground Is A Significant Part Of Twitter's Founding Story

Twitter is the latest Silicon Valley company to eye an IPO. It is
expected to go public later this year or early next.

There's a playground in San Francisco that holds special
significance for the now-massive company.

At South Park in San Francisco, Jack Dorsey originally proposed
the idea for Twitter. He imagined using texting technology to
alert friends about what he was doing at that moment. He
co-founded the company with Biz Stone and Evan Williams.

Dorsey tells CNBC he mentioned the idea for the first time on a
playground there, below:

"On that playground right up
there is where I first brought up the idea," Dorsey told CNBC for
its Twitter Revolution documentary. "And then we brought
it back to the company [Odeo] and demoed it. We wanted to see
everything that was happening. Not just where people were but
what they were doing. I wanted to be able to see the world in
real time."
